101 closure
 

US 101 is closed 6 miles north of Leggett due to an enormous slide. If intending to drive between Oregon and California, take I5 for the next few days.

Here's how to get around it (could take 7 hours...):

From today's

"At this time, our best estimates point to a reopening of U.S. Highway 101 to one-way traffic control sometime mid-to-late next week.

The highway will not be reopened this weekend, and there are no local detours available. Travel plans should include detouring over onto Interstate 5 via Routes 20, 36, or 299 to loop back towards U.S. 101 on the other side of the closure. Motorists should anticipate these detours to take upwards of 7 hours."

I've been thinking about a drive north on 101 from 20 when the weather improves. Thanks for this, I'll wait a bit. No rush.

A new slide at the same location, as of April 26, has closed U.S. 101 again.

Is this north of Gold Beach or south?

It is in California . . .

Over 200 miles south, Dyer.

Thank you - it won't affect my travel then, but what an inconvenience for others.
